The family purchased a lakefront property in a nice area three years ago but then ran into a series of issues, and have abandoned the place because of them.They are hoping the bank allows a short sale (asking for roughly $20,000 under what is owed)Here's what's made them so unhappy:Anytime they used the laundry it was dumping into a dry well, which would back up into the house forcing them to take their laundry to a laundromat instead!!

Step 1: Get preapproved for an FHA loan for the purchase price you are looking for.Step 2: Connect with builders until you find a few that will finance the construction of your home. 

Specifically from the Caged AC Unit into the attic (concrete slab so no crawl space).I was thinking of just building a tall vertical box to place this into.  

Hello,I am interested in purchasing a recently renovated $195K property as a 'secondary' home for the next 4 years to use as a future LTR.

@Kris Lou Be careful with agents as 95%+ of them really only know how to handle owner-occupied transactions.We don't do biz in Indianapolis, so this is unbiased info we hope you find useful:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Do you have any specific goals for 2025 that we can help you with?

(IF you purchased and lived in property asap, then rented it out, then returned to it it sell it years later - better plan.

. $220,000 is definitely a lower purchase price amount and really limits you on what you can buy.

As I’m saving up for my first investment, I would like to learn more about the industry - and it would be nice to earn some income while doing so.Are there any specific skills or knowledge I need to secure a VA side gig? 

So feel free to reach out to me with specific questions you may have.
